This week on the podcast, we’ve been hearing so much about the 1968 Democrats that we brought our own boomer onto the show to relive that time and discuss how it compares to now. Plus, updates on our Senate 2020 project, thoughts on how to move on from the crushing blow of Super Tuesday, and one area in which we definitely did win: Chris Matthews is gone!
BTL #196 - Five-Swipe and Token-Man V. That Turnstyle Life - 4/11/16
This week on BTL, the candidates invade New York to make subway-related gaffes, eat pizza incorrectly, and in the case of known delight Ted Cruz, lecture New Yorkers about how terrible they are. Luckily the feeling was mutual and after protests, walk-outs, and lots of general purpose heckling, it's now looking like he wont be taking the Bronx. What a surprise! Plus we've got Wisconsin and Wyoming election results, Panama Paper-mania, a Tour de Trump you wont want to miss, plus a rundown of what was and was not said at Sanders' infamous NY Daily News interview! We're back together again on the left coast and enjoying the afterglow of National Siblings Day, which, naturally, as only children we celebrate together. Say hi to Mom for us!
BTL #191 - The Euphamism - 3/7/16
This week on a special bi-coastal BTL, all hell breaks loose in the GOP primary in an ever-mounting flurry of desperate party maneuvers and bizarre Donald Trump quotes. Christ Christie has been kidnapped and cannot be saved so let's not worry about him anymore, but is anybody going to tell Rubio that his time might be up? Also, a rowdy Democratic Debate in Flint, MI, election results from all the "super" election days a person could ask for, CPAC, Ted Cruz's booger-eating, and so much more! How is it possible that every week tops the last? We're exhausted, you guys, but we do it all for you!
